Description
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
- medium-sized saucepan
- whisk
- a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
- medium-sized bowl
- fine sieve
- sealable container (oil bottle)
- ice cubes
Ingredients
Units Scale
- 1.5 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 250 milliliters oil of your choice
Instructions
- Put the cinnamon into the pot as well as the cinnamon sticks. Pour in the oil and mix well with a whisk.
- Heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 70-80°C (160-175°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 5 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
- Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.
- Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
- Once all the oil has passed through the sieve, transfer the collected amount of oil into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one to two weeks. As it sits it’s normal for the cinnamon powder to settle at the bottom, so just give it a quick shake before using it.
